AD&D was first published in 1977. Today is 2024 that was 47 years ago. While the game Dungeons & Dragons still is being played today, the game you play today is NOT the same game that was made in 1970’s. The style of play, the mindset, the toolset, the environment, the approach, the math skills, and the social interaction are all of a different type and level. This is not to say better than, or worse than, only DIFFERENT. Chess is a fun game, so is checkers but they are DIFFERENT games. I invite you to take a look at the game available today at drivethrurpg.com
